I'm a twenty something who is too obsessed with fan fiction for my own good. I've read loads, but have just started dabbling with writing. My favorites seem to be Pride and Prejudice, and Twilight. And interestingly enough, I've found that I actually prefer the Twilight FF to the actual books. I'm not sure why that is. I think I just like the bones of the the Twilight characters and plot, and I love the idea of making them a little different. I guess that's what I'm attempting to do. We'll see how that goes!
